Guild Wars 2

Hi there! This is something that was mentioned a while back (being able to upgrade the level 60 and 70 exotic gear to the new 80 versions available at the vendors, for free).

Just wanted to make sure it was still on the docket somewhere.

Is this still a priority?

I got an Ascalon Chestpiece within a few days of starting the game. It’s sadly useless to me now and I don’t want to waste a transmutation stone if I don’t have to!

What? No.

Fix the freaking dungeons before adding superfluous features like this.

wow. this definitely counts as a “dungeon fix.” two of the dungeons were giving literally pointless rewards, the developers understood this, and patched it. absolutely those who purchased the gear before the fix deserve the intended rewards.

hardly superfluous. unfortunately i don’t know what i can add to help your plight other than my support.

I decided not to wait for this feature the moment I read that it wasn’t included in the original update. First of all, most people who got the lower level exotics probably transmuted them before the update. Also, it doesn’t take terribly long to just get the tokens again. You could have gotten that piece of armor again by now. That argument is only going to get better the longer the update takes. However, I can understand reluctance to run the dungeon again depending on how much gear you got. If they didn’t prioritize it when it would have been most useful, don’t expect them to do it later.

I only created this thread and held off on transmuting because they specifically mentioned, explicitly, that there would be an option added to have that stuff upgraded to 80 without using a transmutation stone. I am fine continuing to wait, I don’t want to spend another 8 runs getting tokens for the same piece of gear. If this isn’t going to be implemented at all that’s fine too, then I can find a suitable piece to transmute, but I’d like to hear either way.
